Photo SpecialRockin' Grammy Weekend

The Grammys may be the music world's biggest event of the year, but the real fun happens at VIP soirees before and after the awards are doled out. Take a peek behind the scenes at pre- and post-Grammy parties and celebrate with the stars – like Missy Elliott and Madonna (at Warner Entertainment's afterparty in Los Angeles).

No one works it for the camera quite like Lil' Kim, vamping it up at Davis's party. The diminutive diva had a lot to celebrate, including Grammy nods for best female rap solo performance (for "Came Back for You") and best pop collaboration with vocals (for "Can't Hold Us Down," her duet with Christina Aguilera).
